Nice one

So after days of lecture from Venzal and writing out Ben's newsletter daily, I decided to try out my first sample

Kindly rate it over 10

Category: Dating Course ("Now she's wrapped in your palm" )

Email 1

Subject: She's obsessed with you man, how did you do it?

"She's been texting you all day man,respond! The relentless chirping of your phone won't let me rest"

Those were the exact words Samuel, a reader of my newsletter, sent to me in an email.

Apparently, his roommate has like a "container-load" of girls in his life and he literally has a timetable for each of them - and I'm not even kidding.

Samuel asked his roommate why he didn't flinch or respond to the incessant texts from his "supposed" girl.

His roommate told him he had earlier informed the girl to come over on Tuesday evening - meanwhile this event occurred on a Saturday.

"Why Tuesday? Why not tomorrow? Since you said you'll be home all day" Samuel asked.

His roommate responded saying he was going to be busy doing a lot of exercises.

Samuel immediately understood what he meant and asked how he does it - make these girls crave him so bad and even be so needy about it.

I mean, these are girls that have other guys literally begging them in their DMs.

These girls ignore over 50 guys only for them to be ignored by the one guy they want so badly.

You don't want that for yourself?

You don't want these girls all over you, craving your attention?

Samuel wanted that for himself and that was why he shot me that email.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to turn you into a "brostitute" or a serial player, I'm just going to show you how you can have that girl wrapped in your palm.

Samuel said his roommate didn't want to let him on the secret.

Let me give you one for free my man:

Be playfully challenging.

That's it.

This was the tip of the iceberg I gave Samuel,now he's definitely chewing neck-deep into the barbecued whole chicken of value he ordered here:

VENZAL IS BACK!!!!

I tried upwork sometime in 2016 and was rejected, I gave up and continued life as a Video director, then sometime in November 2019, I was at a very low point in my life, finances was not coming in as much as it should, I was managing. That time was one of the times I thought so much about my life, I pondered on so many businesses I could startup with the finance I had, but then, I finally decided to try upwork again, and, I did, and was accepted instantly, before trying, I read a lot of articles on opening an upwork account, I knew the questions that were asked while opening already, so I took my time to properly write it, and just copied and pasted in their respective fields, I was glad, but that was just the beginning, upwork was not friendly for starters at all, it was difficult, I was wasting my connects applying for any and every job I see, I never got even an interview, then I went online and read about writing proposals, studied it very well, watched over 6 hours of upwork related tutorials on YouTube, watched a video editor called Jack Cole on YouTube, he is a freelancer video editor on upwork, watched so many of his tutorials and built on it, by that time, my free 20 connects were long gone already, I was not discouraged, I bought 20 connects again and again, while still studying writing a catchy proposal, until I mastered the art, I finally got a job for a monthly pay of $100 dollars making a short 2 minutes video daily, it was not the best, but i needed the reviews, so I took the job anyways, all this time, I never left my main job o, by the way, this client was the most frustrating person I have ever done business with in my life, it started well at first, he was a naval officer in Australia, I was doing well until my village people remembered me, all of a sudden, my laptop crashed, see wahala I, tried fixing, all to no avail, na there problem start, I had to be running to my friends house every day to use his pc to get the job done and send to this man, my motivation was not the pay, it was the much needed review, I was to submit a video latest by 9pm daily, 9:05pm, this man is already on my whatsapp asking where the video was, ah ah, see wahala o, for $100 dollars?

Well, I endured and kept on working, I took out some money to get a manageable 4gb ram laptop that wanted to frustrate my life, for those that are into video production, you will understand how terrible it is to run premiere on a 4gb core i3 laptop, you will almost be crying, if you are not careful, you will slam the laptop on the floor, exporting a 2 minutes clip can take up to an hour, everything was just frustrating, I endured it, I had no choice, I was determined, I loved upworks premium feel, I hated fiver due to the way those Indians have littered everywhere with their terrible English while sending proposals, plus, upwork had longterm benefits, so I stuck with upwork, anyways, after the first month of working with this man, enduring everything and making sure I was on time, I told the man I was increasing my rates, he asked how much, I told him 1k dollars, the man shock, I said it just to ward him off, cos if I decide to just pull out, he may give me a bad review and that will defeat the whole purpose of my 1 month suffering, he wanted to pay 200 a month, I no gree, I run before him frustrate me, well, he tried to pay me 6h dollars for a livestream job where he wanted me to be streaming at least 20 hours of music every day to his YouTube channel (just imagine as money too much for this man o), well, I rejected, where will I get stable unlimited internet in Nigeria and also stable 24 hours light? Or is it with my small 4gb Laptop I will use to stream? Wetin I want come use edit?

Well, I was sad that I left my only job, and went back to the labor market (upwork) for a new job, by the way, before I landed my first job, I spent over 1 month submitting proposals without even an interview, back to the story, after about 2 more weeks, I have almost exhausted the 100 dollars on connects again, I landed another low paying job, 30 freaking godam sports videos for 300 dollars, who does that? 1 Video can take me 4 hours to make o, anyways, they say a bird at hand is better than hundreds in the sky, I accepted the job, and completed the project, this client was far more understanding, unlike the first guy that almost made me start going on x videos to get the particular sultry (but not porn) videos he wanted me to work on.

Completed the project, and got more, it was low paying and wasn't the best, but i enjoyed it cos I loved football, and editing football clips was fun for me, from there, I got another client which was moderately fair, to cut the long story short, about 3 months down the line, I had earned over 1.5k dollars, some weeks ago, I just got my JSS badge with 94%, I am in my 3rd top rated eligible week, with over 6k earnings already, I don't do jobs less than $100 dollars, the same sports videos I did for $10 each back then, I don't do for less than $200 each now, my whatsapp is filled with clients from all over the world, yesterday, I declined 2 invitation to interview, I have about 6 long term clients that I earn nothing less than 5h dollars per week from, apart from the occasional clients that comes to me every now and then to work for them, I have a constant assurance of $300 weekly from one of my hourly job, i have over 120 connects in my account untouched, cos I don't even have to submit proposals, jobs just comes, I accepted a new job yesterday, today, I got a text all the way from US asking me to work for him (referrals),i am thinking of downgrading my account to the regular upwork account cos I don't think I will be needing their connects anytime soon, so they can stop taking my 15 dollars monthly, moral of the story.

Doing those jobs all those times, enduring the pressure, the constant struggle to keep up, the competition, reinvesting all my earnings into upwork at some point, my first 3 earnings went back to upwork, I didn't even withdraw, it was difficult, it was never easy, I was very discouraged, I almost gave up, but i am glad I didn't.

Today, my dear 4gb ram laptop has become decoration on my desk, used sparingly to write scripts, i now own 2 8gb ram laptops, core i7, a 16gb ram core i7, and a 32gb ram core i7, all bought from upwork earnings, the rest they say is history, I am glad I took this path, don't give up, be professional, try as much as you can to please your clients, I have 3 other people working under me, I am even thinking of how to properly establish the company and employ more with upwork being my major source for clients, I have lots of good reviews to the extent that even upwork is asking me to submit my cv so they can see the possibility of dissolving me into one special freelance package wey me no even understand sef, but it has benefits according to them sha, it is well my people.

Just felt to share my story to encourage you all.

Virgo01:

This is nice. The way to mastery from time immemorial has been practice.

Of course, you can't just become a globe trotting master copywriter except you put in the hard yards (like Oga Venzal will say).

What could be worse? There is nothing like mastery in copywriting.
The revered guys just have higher confidence levels and maybe a few dollar churning copywriting tricks up their sleeves -nothing you can't learn.

Your copy has a lot of grammatical mistakes though.

Don't throw me that "grammar is not the aim for writing copy" look. "This wonderful products"? I'll just pass. Gratias.


Lol...just trying to sound like a copywriter
I'm so taking this whole copywriting thing serious. Digital skills are the way to go. You did well though. We'll get there.

AwesomeDuru:
You write well boss. Kudos.

shakyum:
even if I don't have sales on upwork yet, will I still need to buy connect when I exhaust them?

TopeQs:
good morning everyone, nice thread by our Oga, I remember back then on Fiverr, very frustrating, upwork can lift one, faster.

I run an Upwork account and I lost my only means of verification.. how can I get this ID verification done. I'm done with the video verification, it's just the ID, it is a Nigerian account.





yes, you still need to buy more to send proposals.

shakyum:


Nawao, those people own strong, the person never even make any sale you come the bill am

shakyum:
even if I don't have sales on upwork yet, will I still need to buy connect when I exhaust them?

Ahmedsuleiman:

Yes, you will have to buy connects to send proposals to clients.

Goalnaldo:
I experienced issues setting up my payment. I selected direct bank transfer and after inputting every info, I was told the name on my account didn't match with the name I registered with upwork. The problem was I registered using my email which was a shorter version of my real name. I have changed to my complete name though, but they said it will take up to 48 hrs for it to reflect. Please for those of you registering on upwork, endeavour to register with the name that corresponds to the one on your bank account. My write up is a bit long but learn from my mistake. We rise by lifting others.

emperorsversion:


and how much or what's the estimated amount for this connects per unit please?
